It could be a disease, A contagious one but still can be cured. To start with, drugs and gambling addiction has similarities in effects but it has a different approach to cure it. Both are deadly if not prevented. Should the government forbid gambling? There are already countries that ban gambling but a lot are still doing it underground and/or online. Treating gambling addiction is not the priority of the Government most likely they'll prioritize treating drug addicts, it's more on the family's side to decide what to do, to their addicted member.
Normally people with this type of addiction cannot decide properly anymore. Gambling, greed, and negativity took over their system in which their mind wanted to stop but their body doesn't. What do I think? This addiction must be treated as soon as possible and the family of an addicted member must there to decide for him/her.

I arguably consider it a psychological disease. However, every disease has a cure (even if the scientists have not yet to discover some cures to some diseases). Gambling addiction can be cured with the help of the inner-self. If you do not have a strong willpower or determination, you will be stuck in the realm of addiction.
The government should not ban gambling because people will still gamble secretly, thus it is not a good decision to begin with. The problem does not lie within the government but with people. The latter are greedy, they want extra money even if they already are rich. So, I leave it for people to decide on their own whether they need to gamble or not.

So lets say it is really a disease where gamblers becomes an addict and cant help their want to gamble. But every sickness and disease has its own cure. Its just a matter of mindsetting control. I think Getting a social or mind disease is harder to cure than to those physical sickness. Because drugs and operation wont cure it. The bottom line of this was, all things too much or too less is bad. Just make all things balanced.
I am not really a gambler but I heard about people who can't quit it and keep losing lots of money. Do you think the attitude to gambling addiction should be the same as to drug addiction?
Should the government forbid gambling and treat somehow those who are addicted?
Or maybe it should be left up to an adult? I mean, should people decide on their own whether they need to gamble or not.
What do you think?
It seems that way gambling addiction is some what like drug addiction,if you are addicted to that it will be hard for a person to let go of the things that they used to do .Gambling is one of the major problem of the society. Should the government forbid gambling and treat somehow those who are addicted?
Or maybe it should be left up to an adult? I mean, should people decide on their own whether they need to gamble or not.
What do you think?
I think yes, drug addiction, alcohol addiction and gambling addiction needs the help of psychiatrist, and gambling addiction is very hard to cure especially when you live in the area where gambling is legal, and the gambling addiction impacts to society is almost the same with drug addiction, I certainly agree that gambling addiction need professional help
To fully recover from this addiction, Yes indeed. as this type of addiction already created malfunctions inside our mindset, people who suffer from this activity really can't think properly and instead of trying to move away from the gambling house, they will keep pushing thinking that it is the easy wayto earn money, so it's really needed to have professional help when we see someone who suffered from deep gambling addiction to find cure to recover
and restore the balance.

For me yes. It can be likened to a disease. First it starts with trying and trying until you find your self coming and coming back again to the point that you could no longer stop it by yourself. This time it is now like a disease which need cure, therapy. This therapy could be making yourself busy with other things or starting with something that would catch your interest so you will be able to forget gambling.
Yes addiction is diseases, whatever it is, alcoholism, addiction drugs, gambling addiction, all are diseases. More precisely, addiction is a mental illness, you are not physically sick, but something is wrong in your mental. When addicted, you will have trouble controlling yourself.
This is the main point and we need to understand this thing. It is common for people to go after easy methods of making money and gambling gives them false hopes of making money and fulfilling their dreams by displaying and promoting deals. Jackpots are also there to make people keep playing this game. After winning some money, people develop strong interest in this game and this is when there countdown starts for getting addicted.

Gambling is like the other games people who love to play games they are become fresh when they play game and the international players of cricket and football they love to play games like that the gambling lovers play gambling so it is not a diseases but it is the game which they are playing for fun for entertainment and this is the way through which they can enjoy their lives and from gambling they are earning a good money while in the short time they can become rich so gambling is not a disease..

Gambling is basically not a disease but a kind of problem that needs a serious solution. If a person is addicted to gambling he usually disregard and put aside something important over it. To help a person who is addicted to gambling is not an easy task because it is a personal decision of the person if he really want to get out from it.

Why you need a serious solution if you keep invest on betting and choose the right games which you know more about the player or team. There is no problem at all.
If you are serious gambler and take investment as serious fund for your personal purpose and etc.
You need not to keep those of gambling activities. So guys like this should from gambling investments.
I agree and I don’t think gambling is a disease but a psychological problem. That’s why some people who are addicted to gambling who thinks it is already a serious problem would sometimes go see a shrink to help them woth their addiction. But for some though, people thinks gambling is a form of investment.
It is not literally the disease that we are talking about here, we are just describing gambling addiction is like a disease which is not good on every individuals, especially those addicted ones. Gambling addiction is a very bad psychological problem, not just that person could lose all of his money but he might also try to steal some money or use someone's money on his addiction, which might cause more problems if is not going to be cure or to think some solutions to quit this gambling addiction.
It is hard to convince someone who is addicted to gambling, he will not listen to you and his excuse would be it is his life and you should mind your own business, and if this gets bigger and bigger, that certain person could be in the worst scenario of his life that he could never imagine.

It is certainly nothing less than disease as once it gets infected to you, the person will tend to be found more in casinos or gamble a lot and eventually might lose a lot of money. This will have adverse effect on their health and other disease will also inturn might get added to it.
Since that is already a gambling disorder, in my opinion,(whatever yours i respect too) yes it is already a disease that can be cured also if the beholder is willing to be transformed too. It is not literally a chronic disease, but a disorder of a human behaviour. This is normally happens to a person who have so much passion in gambling and not setting a limitations, he allows always his urge to keep pushing his will until he reaches the point of addiction that already uncontrollable. Maybe he is living a life with a lot of money to waste to, incorporated with uncontentment in life, it tends to addiction.
Yes addiction is diseases, whatever it is, alcoholism, addiction drugs, gambling addiction, all are diseases. More precisely, addiction is a mental illness, you are not physically sick, but something is wrong in your mental. When addicted, you will have trouble controlling yourself.
That is right, gambling addiction is a disease that is hard to get off in our body, and if you are not going to make a solution of action about it, then you are going to suffer in the near future. Gambling addiction is no joke, if you are not going to quit it, then prepare for the worst that could happen to your life such getting broke and so on.
you are right any addiction will spoil our life like that gambling addiction also kill our personal life. for other addiction we have medicine but gambling addiction I think we don't have any medicine. the only solution is self control and spending time with family members. kill your free time with any other activity then only it is possible.
